 Third
Barrier to Study
A word not understood or wrongly
understood
The third and most important barrier is
the misunderstood word.
Have you ever been reading a book or a report, gotten
to the end of the page and couldn't remember what you read?
Therein lies the phenomena of the misunderstood
word - all becomes distinctly blank beyond a word not understood or wrongly
understood.
The matter is far more critical than one
might surmise and of the three barriers it is the misunderstood that bears
most upon human relations, the mind and understanding.
It is the misunderstood word that establishes
aptitude - or lack of it.
It produces a vast panorama of reactions
and is the prime factor involved with stupidity. It also determines whether
or not one can actually perform a learned skill, and to what degree of
proficiency.
Have you ever observed
someone look tired while studying? Like they were about to fall asleep?
  
All of these are the result of one or more
words or symbols not understood or wrongly understood.
The misunderstood word can stop a student in his
tracks completely. Knowing how to determine when there is a misunderstood
word or symbol, how to find it and how to handle it are critical to the
success of any student.
